All was still. I didn't know if we won, lost, or both were planing their next move. All I knew was I was bleeding out, and since I couldn't feel anything, probably paralyzed. I forced my eyes open and looked up. The stars and moon shone across the battlefield, bodies of my fellow soldiers both allied and enemy littered everywhere. I looked at the summer moon with my heavy eyes.

I tried to lift my hand and reach for moon. 'I.... if I have to die now.... at least I die under a beautiful moon.' I thought as my vision started to darken around the corners. I grabbed my dog tag to read My name one last time. Colin Wigylus. With a small smile I let my hand rest on my chest before looking back up, my vision fading to black with the moon being the last thing I remember seeing.

'Death is never a end, just a beginning.'

'ThumThump ThumThum'

I woke up to a heavy thumping filling my ears and vibrating my body. I couldn't open my eyes but something just felt... Wrong. I can't explain it but everything was wrong. I tried to move, wanting to get out of where ever I was. I stopped as soon as I heard a voice of distress. It... It sounded familiar but I couldn't place it. One way or another I didn't want to hurt anyone so I stoped and stayed still with my thoughts.

I tried to remember what happened. I remember the battle, and being peppered in the gut. I remember dieing, then ending up here, wherever here is. I took a breath, and even that felt strange, like I was breathing in a liquid but I wasn't drowning. Everything was wrong. I thought back to my high school years and decided to take a philosophy from back then and calm down, and just let things happen.

I thought back on my life, making sure that I didn't suffer any brain damage. 'My name was Colin Wigylus. Is! Okay that was wierd... My name is Colin Wigylus, I am a 19 year old American male. I am a soldier for the US army reserve. I had two younger brothers and both parents alive and well. My Hobbies included Archery, sword play, my little pony and gaming.' I thought, not even noticing my shift back to pastense. It seemed like all my memories were there at the time so I changed focus to my body.

It felt weird. My arms felt out of place and even my head felt strange. I couldn't move or even open my eyes to look at myself. I felt no pain, but instead felt small, weak, and a strange sense of irrational fear. That fear grew until I was panicing for a reason I don't even know.

Then she sang.

I still don't know who she is but her voice, it soothed me. My fears... I felt them go away. I actually fell asleep to her lullaby as I relaxed and let my consciousness fade....


I woke up some time later just as restless as before. I tried to move around much to the discomfort of who ever that lady is again. Eventually I have up and was left alone with my thoughts once again.

I thought back to my hobbies this time. I first got into archery nine years before I joined the military and not to toot my own horn but I was a prodegy. It was as easy as breathing and I even held the state record in California for two weeks. 'Still bitter I lost that competition by one arrow.' I always loved archery, it was a shame that I had to give up my bow to buy my house but that's life for you.

Sword play. Although it is rarely used in this day and age it always drew me in. Maybe it was watching too many movies or reading too much fantasy, but I have always loved swords and their styles. My father learned long ago how to wield them and after much begging he taught me everything he knew. It wasn't much, but it was something.

Gaming. Honestly this one shouldn't be a shock. Gamers are everywhere in this day and age and the types of games just increase. My favorite games were Warframe and Kingdom Hearts respectively. There was just something about those games that spoke to me, and KH especially changed my life for the better.

And last but not least the show My Little Pony. Yeah I may not have been up to date on the episodes, but I still loved the show. I wasn't a hardcore fan, going to cons or cosplay, the most I did was buy a keychain. But the world of equestria, it always enraptured me. It was a world of magic where anything could happen. A nobody can save the world and become a somebody. To me, it is a ideal world, one where I used to wish I'd be a part of.

As I thought this where ever I was jostled akin to a earth quake. Once again that irrational fear returned. I have never been a coward. Yeah I had fears but I never let them control my actions. Being this afraid over something..... It was unheard of. By the time it had finished I was shaking, trying to make myself into a ball just to hide. Then I heard the soothing lullaby again and somehow knew everything was okay.

"Its okay little one, the day won't hurt you no more."


I woke up again bored out of my mind. I needed out, I needed to see God Damn it! I kicked and squirmed Dispite the cries out side. Where ever or whoever she is, I didn't care anymore, I needed out!

"Her magisty is going into labor, the child should be out any minute now!"

I continued to squirm, a small light piercing the darkness of my sight. I made a break for the light before the sound of breaking water filled my ears. I coughed, took a deep breath, and let out a cry. The sound of a baby telling filled my ears as I finally opened my eyes to have them assaulted.

Blurry images filled them as my body was picked up by something MUCH bigger than me. I was wrapped up in something warm, probably a blanket, as I was carried over to a black and blue mass. "It's a Filly your Magisty!" the one carrying me boomed, my ears folding on my head as I whimpered.

This is when I started to realize what was happening. 'Wait.... Did I just whimper? And what is with my ears? And why did she say Filly!' my mind paniced as the black glob started to take more shape and my heart dropped.

"It's okay little Nebula.... Mother is here..." Said the voice I now reconized. Paired with that face it is hard not to. Nightmare Moon grinned down at me with her razor sharp teeth as I lifted one of my arms to get a look.

Instead of a hand, my eyes met a hoof, one covered in dark purple fur. Now normally I'd be happy. I was after all one of those bronies that would kill to come to Equestria. But at that moment in time that wasn't on my mind, so I did the next best thing.

I screamed.
